To overcome the impossibility of representing the energy of a signal simultaneously in time and frequency, many time-frequency representations have been introduced in the literature. Some of these are recalled in the Introduction. In this…
Metaplectic Wigner distributions were recently investigated as natural generalizations of the classical Wigner distribution, and provide a wide class of time-frequency representations that exploits the structure of the symplectic group.…
We study the phase-space concentration of the so-called generalized metaplectic operators whose main examples are Schr\"odinger equations with bounded perturbations. To reach this goal, we perform a so-called $\mathcal{A}$-Wigner analysis…
In the last twenty years modulation spaces, introduced by H. G. Feichtinger in 1983, have been successfully addressed to the study of signal analysis, PDE's, pseudodifferential operators, quantum mechanics, by hundreds of contributions. In…
We introduce new frames, called \textit{metaplectic Gabor frames}, as natural generalizations of Gabor frames in the framework of metaplectic Wigner distributions. Namely, we develop the theory of metaplectic atoms in a full-general setting…
Time-frequency localization operators, originally introduced by Daubechies (1988), provide a framework for localizing signals in the phase space and have become a central tool in time-frequency analysis. In this paper we introduce and study…
Metaplectic Wigner distributions generalize the most popular time-frequency representations, such as the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) and $\tau$-Wigner distributions, using metaplectic operators. However, in order for a metaplectic…
Modulation spaces were originally introduced by Feichtinger in 1983. Since the 2000s there have been thousands of contributions using them as correct framework; they range from PDEs, pseudodifferential operators, quantum mechanics, signal…
We present a different symplectic point of view in the definition of weighted modulation spaces $M^{p,q}_m(\mathbb{R}^d)$ and weighted Wiener amalgam spaces $W(\mathcal{F} L^p_{m_1},L^q_{m_2})(\mathbb{R}^d)$. All of the classical…
We develop a systematic analysis of the metaplectic semigroup $\mathrm{Mp}_+(d,\mathbb{C})$ associated with positive complex symplectic matrices, a notion introduced almost simultaneously and independently by H\"ormander, Brunet, Kramer,…
The problem of identifying and reconstructing operators from a diagonal of the Gabor matrix is considered. The framework of Quantum Time--Frequency Analysis is used, wherein this problem is equivalent to the discretisation of the diagonal…
Metaplectic Wigner distributions are joint time-frequency representations that are parametrized by a symplectic matrix and generalize the short-time Fourier transform and the Wigner distribution. We investigate the question which…
In contrast to classical physics, the language of quantum mechanics involves operators and wave functions (or, more generally, density operators). However, in 1932, Wigner formulated quantum mechanics in terms of a distribution function…
This work considers uncertainty relations on time frequency distributions from a signal processing viewpoint. An uncertainty relation on the marginalizable time frequency distributions is given. A result from quantum mechanics is used on…
We perform Wigner analysis of linear operators. Namely, the standard time-frequency representation \emph{Short-time Fourier Transform} (STFT) is replaced by the $\mathcal{A}$-\emph{Wigner distribution} defined by $W_{\mathcal A}…
We characterize all time-frequency representations that satisfy a general covariance property: any weak*-continuous bilinear mapping that intertwines time-frequency shifts on the configuration space with time-frequency shifts on phase space…
Moving detectors in relativistic quantum field theories reveal the fundamental entangled structure of the vacuum which manifests, for instance, through its thermal character when probed by a uniformly accelerated detector. In this paper, we…
We study the covariance property of quadratic time-frequency distributions with respect to the action of the extended symplectic group. We show how covariance is related, and in fact in competition, with the possibility of damping the…
Time-frequency representations such as the spectrogram are commonly used to analyze signals having a time-varying distribution of spectral energy, but the spectrogram is constrained by an unfortunate tradeoff between resolution in time and…
We show that the cross Wigner function can be written in the form $W(\psi, \phi)= \hat S (\psi \otimes \overline{\hat\phi})$ where ${\hat\phi}$ is the Fourier transform of $\phi$ and $\hat S$ is a metaplectic operator that projects onto a…
